Description: When First Released by Internationally Acclaimed social scientist and family therapist Dr. Constance Ahrons, The Good Divorce was the tonic divorcing couples needed to learn how to successfully dissolve their marriages yet preserve their families. Updated with a new introduction, and based on her renowned Binuclear Family Study (funded by the National Institute of Mental Health) and cumulative findings in the field, The Good Divorce, serves as a road map to responsible divorce. Using vivid, in-depth examples, it helps couples understand normal, predictable crises so they can move beyond the confusing, even terrifying early stages of breakup and learn to deal with transition from a nuclear to a "binuclear" family -- a family that spans two households and yet retains the important emotional bonds of kinship. An important contribution to the ongoing "family values" debate, The Good Divorce dispels the myth that divorce inevitably leaves emotionally troubled children in its wake.

"Intelligent, scholarly, and wonderfully readable". -- Olga Silverstein, author of The Courage to Raise Good Men
